Treatment for infant feeding difficulties

Many of our newborns have difficulty in feeding, and this situation has attracted the attention of our mothers. Many mothers are very worried about this, fearing that it will affect the health of their children. For this reason, mothers try all kinds of ways to treat our children. In fact, infant feeding difficulty is not a particularly serious disease, so how can we mothers avoid this trouble? Let us now learn about the treatment methods for infant feeding difficulties.

Treatment:

1. Babies fed with breast milk: If the breast milk is very good, the number of breastfeeding should gradually stabilize. As long as the weight can increase by 150-200 grams per week, it means that the feeding effect is very ideal. If the weight gain is less than 100 grams per week, it means that the breast milk is not enough. At this time, the baby will often cry and need to be fed with milk once more. It is best to schedule the time to add milk once when the mother's milk supply is the lowest (between 4pm and 6pm), adding 120 ml each time. If the mother gets proper rest after adding milk, the breast milk secretion increases, or the baby's crying at night decreases, you can continue like this. If the baby's crying due to hunger at night does not change after feeding with milk once, and there is not much breast milk, then change the breastfeeding before going to bed at 10-11 pm to feeding with milk to ensure that the mother gets enough rest at night. In short, whether to increase the amount of milk once or twice should be determined based on the baby's weight. In addition, during this month mothers should pay attention to protecting their nipples and not let their babies suck on one nipple continuously for more than 15 minutes. Keep the nipples clean to prevent the baby from sucking too much and injuring the nipples, which may cause bacteria to invade and cause mastitis. By the way, babies who are breastfed generally do not get sick during the first 1-2 months. Although loose stools, seven or eight bowel movements a day, spitting up, eczema, etc. may occur, there is no need to worry as long as the baby is in good spirits and eats well.

2. Babies fed with milk: The most important thing is not to let the baby eat too much, so as not to increase the burden on the hydration organs. Generally speaking, for a baby weighing 3-3.5 kg at birth, it is appropriate to drink about 600-800 ml of milk every day during the period of 1-2 months. This should be divided into 7 times a day, with 100-200 ml each time. If the baby drinks 6 times, each time should be 140 ml. For babies who eat too much, even though they can eat 150-180 ml each time, it is best not to exceed 150 ml, otherwise it will increase the burden on the kidneys and digestive organs. If the baby seems not full and cries after eating 150 ml, you can let the baby drink about 30 ml of boiled water and add some white sugar appropriately. Do not add sugar when mixing milk with milk powder, otherwise it will make your baby too fat. If a milk-fed baby defecates 3-4 times a day, there is no need to worry as long as he is in good spirits. After the baby is one month old, you should pay attention to preventing rickets. In addition to taking the baby outdoors to bask in the sun often, you should give the baby 400 international units of vitamin D every day, that is, concentrated cod liver oil drops. Start with 1 drop per day and increase gradually.
